For any of you suffering with a leaking roof onto the drivers chairs (Knees) this is what I use... I think the addition of Krytech softens the rubber seal. You don't need too much just squirt on, and rub into rubber. Leaks stop!! Well for a good few months.

Note: The boot seal is a different problem, and I don't work for finish line

I picked up my R230 SL500 last year and enjoyed a great summer with the top down. Over the winter, I began to tidy up the car as it was looking a bit tired.

First on my to do list was to refurb the wind deflector as the netting was looking more of a stone grey rather than the original black. Unfortunately, while attempting a rather too vigorous scrub, I managed to rip the net

Anyone with access to the Full EPC got a part number ?

Can someone please tell me what the procedure is to remove the existing reel and change it for a new one? I understand from previous posts that it's a DIY job.

All tips and comments gratefully received- I'll be doing the job on my Dad's front driveway at the weekend so hopefully no rain!

Thanks,

Thank you very much in advance have added pics of area if people are list what I’m on about Lolol

Just a quickie. I noticed that I’ve got a small gap of around an inch in the upper left corner of the boot, behind the hinge, just underneath the rear windscreen. It looks suspiciously like the trim doesn’t meet properly, and perhaps never has. I’ve certainly not noticed the gap before, but then again, that’s not saying much!
So, could anyone with a w220 let me know if they’ve got the same thing, or am I bound to be letting in disastrous amounts of water?...

It has had a vibration which feels like a wheel out of balance, the front tyres also have had unusual wear patterns.
I have had the the Alloy Wheels checked and straightened of any flat spots, changed the tyres and had the wheels balanced....

It was repaired about 18/24 months ago, I saw him at the weekend and we were talking cars as usual.
I had a look over his car and the repainted panels seem to have gone ever so slightly Flat.
What can be done to rectify this , a mop and polish ??

The metal framed hinge is snapped.

Does anybody have experience with replacing these units?
I think I need to remove / replace it from the inside.

I’ve found rust on the rear panel of my R129, around the number plate lights. Does anyone know of any repair panels for this section?

It would be tricky to patch in due to the number plate and trim panel fixings......any ideas?
